  1. Is there any sort of patch to fix this issue?
  2. Re-enabling the GPU in my DSDT yields no results when booting with Switchable Graphics on. The GPU is detected correctly, however HDMI or the like is not. My guess is it's still trying to use IGPU.
  3. Yeah, figured. I disabled the NVIDIA GPU under Windows and HDMI/DVI/DP stopped working. Going to try and develop a method to get both GPU's working.
  4. Yeah, I was reading up and having been trying to patch the AppleIntelFramebufferAzul.kext using Pike R. Alpha's AppleIntelFramebufferAzul.sh. Was trying a few configurations and also tried your configuration however still no HDMI.
  5. Trying to fix boot lag, as in for about the first 30 seconds there is lag, can tell because the mouse is all jumpy, some items load slow. Could that be because the CPU is running at a lower frequency at boot, or is it because I'm running off an USB 2.0 USB TO IDE EHDD? I've generated a SSDT using Pike R. Alpha's script and checking/viewing the P States using AppleIntelInfo.kext. Seems to work fine and am able to see all the P States. However, just when reading up, according to this page: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295587-power-management-for-sandyivy-bridgehaswell-cpus/ I should be seeing the AppleLPC, X86PlatformPlugin & ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin kexts loaded, but I only see the X86PlatformPlugin.kext loaded.
  6. Ah yeah, I had a look at those but none of them seem to relate to my laptop, so I'll just have to develop my own patch. Are DP, DVI & HDMI possible on the HD 4600?
  7. Just tested the rest of the ports on my dock. As I already knew, the DVI & DP ports don't work, same with the VGA port. The Serial/Parallel ports don't work and the same with the PS/2 ports - not going to use those ports anyway. However USB 2.0/3.0 ports, the Ethernet port and the eSATA/USB combo port, as well as the Headphone/Microphone jacks all work fine. Also I can't seem to find that AC Adapter fix you're talking about.
  8. I'll have a look for that AC Adapter fix. Managed to get Audio working by completely removing AppleHDA.kext & AppleHDAALC.kext then re-installing them using Kext Utility. Afterwards I verified & repaired permissions with Disk Utility and after a reboot, Audio is working again. I'll install CodecCommander anyway, as I'm sure it'll be needed when I get sleep working properly. As for HDMI & HDMI Audio, they do not work. Come to think of it, I use a Dell E-Port Plus Advanced Replicator II Dock. (http://accessories.ap.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=au&l=en&s=dhs&cs=audhs1&sku=452-11521) The dock seemed to work fine when Optimus was off and only the NVIDIA GPU was active. So I'd like to try and get that working if at all possible. On the laptop directly I have DP, VGA & HDMI. Not expecting VGA to work as its not supported, don't use it anyway. The dock has 2 DP, 2 DVI & 1 VGA. I'll do a thorough test of all the dock features (USB 3.0, Ethernet, etc) later.
  9. Yeah, thanks for the links. I did some research of my own. Ethernet works via AppleIntelE1000e v3.10, and the SD Card patch works a charm too. ACPIBatteryManager works, and enables the battery icon, however it always reports as 0% and on battery the screen dims and brightness - quite annoying. Looks like I'll have to try a DSDT edit. One really annoying thing that happened though, was that the Audio which was working fine, just stopped working. No idea what happened. All I did was install the kexts, and yeah. I wonder what could be causing this odd behaviour.
  10. Thanks for that, DVD Player is all working fine. Disabled automatic opening though, since I don't want to change the region. Yep that's the same SD Card Reader. Just says: Vendor: 1217 Device: 8520 Sub Ven: 1028 Sub Dev: 05CC Vendor Name: O2 Micro, Inc. Is there a way to test USB speeds?, or if they show up correctly in System Profiler, the speeds fine. Also with the Audio, was just curious how you came up with those 3 Clover patches? Just realised there's no battery icon, so I guess that doesn't work. Haven't tested ethernet either.
  11. Alright, tested DVD Player, strange. It used to work but now its reporting that it can't find a valid drive.
  12. Thanks, I'll have a read of that thread. Testing DVD Player now, I do know that under supported features, it lists HD as Unsupported. Yes this model does have an SD Card reader (O2 Micro), doesn't work straight up though. Webcam works perfectly, light goes on and off as it should, no lag etc. USB 3.0 ports are detected under system profiler, but I have yet to actually test the USB 3.0 speeds as I don't have a USB 3.0 device. But for USB 2.0 they work perfectly. Not sure how to test the speeds though.
  13. Well, I haven't tried getting sleep to work as I'm running OS X off an external hard drive. Just running it off of an EHDD till I get everything working (except sleep of course), then I'll install OS X on my Internal HDD. Not sure what else to look for. What are the common functions to get working? Also, I'm using a Mavericks ALPS VoodooPS2Controller.kext from hackintosh.zone: http://www.hackintosh.zone/downloads/download/211-alps-multitouch-trackpad-kext-for-mavericks-109x/ However I'm not completely sure this is the best version, but it was the only version I could find that works.
  14. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure. I removed the audio injection from Clover as we have the injection done through the DSDT Other than that I was just working on the other patches and suddenly after a reboot it was working. It was straight after I added the nv_disable = 1 to my boot args, however it doesn't make sense cause after I removed the arg, audio still works. As for brightness, I have also installed RehabMan's ACPIBacklight, which works & there were also key maps for the Display under Keyboard in System Preferences. Original keys were F14 & F15, I changed them to F7 & F8.
  15. Well, bit off but after playing around with the backlight, audio started working. Even headphones work & mic work.
  16. After patching my DSDT with the fixes listed above, I am unable to control the brightness with my keyboard controls, most likely due to _PNLF fix. Booting is extremely bright as well, kinda blinding and really hard to look at (verbose & Apple logo). I was also wondering about the patched kernel, I haven't patched mine yet and was wondering what I would gain from doing so.
  17. Yeah sorry, didn't work. Also had to add a couple of items back into it. Would generating the P States SSDT also generate the C States?
  18. Would generating the P States SSDT also generate the C States? What exactly do those fixes do? I'd prefer to patch the DSDT myself so I can understand whats happening. Thanks though.
  19. The only other DSDT edit I have made is to inject the HD 4600 which works alongside the 9MB Framebuffer patch in Clover.
  20. The reason SMBIOS information is missing is because I originally used a preset config.plist. And have been modifying that. I have 9 SSDT's I can upload them if you want, however the only one I've been using so far is SSDT6 which is for the NVIDIA GPU.
  21. Unfortunately there is no devices under Sound in System Preferences, or in the Audio MIDI Setup app. I used Kext Utility to install the kext, which also repairs permission and cache.
  22. Ah okay, thanks. What would you add/modify to that _DSM Method to get the sound working? Intel HDA device shows up under Audio in System Profiler. Also should that not be displaying Realtek ALC292/ALC3226 instead of Intel High Definition Audio?
  23. May I ask what exactly you changed? Just curious. Still learning this whole DSDT editing thing. Also I use MaciASL. So it might be different when using a different editor. Also the DSDT you provided did add the Intel High Definition Audio to my System Profiler, however still no sound.
  24. Yeah, I removed the AppleHDADisabler kext as well, I was using VoodooHDA 2.8.8d1 installer. Haven't patched my DSDT for Audio yet, I thought what you were saying was simply a Clover patch. I've attached my DSDT anyway. Only patched my DSDT to inject HD 4600 & to disable the NVIDIA GPU - which also requires the patching of SSDT6. Dell Precision M4800 Patched DSDT & SSDT6.zip
  25. Thanks for the reply. Sorry about putting the post under the from sub forum. I've removed VoodooHDA, which didn't work well anyways and installed my backup of Vanilla AppleHDA.kext. Then installed your AppleHDAALC.kext and added those entries to my config.plist. Unfortunately it didn't work, although it may not have worked due to error when adding the entries. I've attached my config.plist incase you want to check it over. config.plist.zip
